It is frustrating to not be able to predict the future. How can you get married, have children, get a 25 year mortgage on a house, buy a car for comfort even though you don't absolutely need it? Even if you do consider buying a home, h

Using a very lightweight lock for the frame and ideally having a saddle and wheels that can't come off without tools would change things economically, especially if the bike is cheap but good enough. The issue is having to rely on luck

I like scripting so I like having a <div id=root> and then do everything in JS. No need for Typescript or React, innerHTML=`...` works fine. For a serious project, React and Typescript make sense but it can still be used wrong. The de

Outside of social media, I never saw a slop grenade except in places where it already existed without AI, like SAV responses or other scripted marketing/HR stuff. Even a real person calling me on my phone to talk 5min about its company

Talking about a bigger scale may be confusing because some of the information AI can train on comes from niches. I wouldn't mind if an AI trained on old Disney movies (or new ones for that matter), but exploiting niches (like local new

I've worked 10+ years as a developer in France where salaries weren't too high to begin with, but I certainly noticed the added competition as it was harder to find a job. I stopped "fighting" for a high-paying role so m

IME Ruby is really good for working alone on tiny projects without an IDE (trying to get more than syntax highlighting causes problems). Sometimes I write single-file scripts or even just use interactive Ruby.

It's not clear what constitutes a hijacking and how they are going to detect it. It may be OK to override the button as long as it's used in the intended way which is to go back. In a single-page application it may not trigger a n

It's hard to see how the US benefits because the US is geographically very far away from this region but I don't think it was an expensive war: short duration, mostly just an air campaign. IMO Trump did this to send a message to t

as long as there's no leak interrupting a promise should be good for performance overall, not necessarily for the front-end but for the whole chain.

Is "not paying" effectively the same thing as unsubscribing? I guess they could keep providing you the service and keep track of the debt you "owe" them. Once it becomes high enough they would find ways to claim the mone

It still bothers me that it's banned in France, as many types of bets are. It's clear that nobody should risk money they can't afford to lose because that's what causes people to panic and behave in unpredictable ways. T

By going after the regime I don't mean ground invasion but anything that helps reduce their abilities. Afghanistan would definitely be a bigger problem today if the USA let it play out.

The USA and Israel should've went after the Iranian regime a long time ago. What we're seing now is the price of procrastination and weak past presidents. Imagine if multiple Western countries allied early to correct this regime (
